Techniques to privacy proof secure element generated certificates anonymous secure element attestations are described herein. An attestation certificate request can be generated that is signed using the static key of the secure element. The attestation certificate request can then be sent to an attestation server, which can verify the attestation certificate request and return an anonymized attestation certificate. The device containing the secure element can transmit the certificate to third parties to verify attestation data signed by the secure element using the certificate and provide assurance to the third parties that the data being attested to has been generated inside a secure element associated with a specific manufacturer.
